correctly token generation requires a public/private key pair. The
public key must be signed in an X509 certificate, and the certificate

CA
Certificate Authority or Certification Authority. In
cryptography, an entity that issues digital certificates. The digital
certificate certifies the ownership of a public key by the named
subject of the certificate. This enables others (relying parties) to
rely upon signatures or assertions made by the private key that
corresponds to the certified public key. In this model of trust
relationships, a CA is a trusted third party for both the subject
(owner) of the certificate and the party relying upon the certificate.
CAs are characteristic of many public key infrastructure (PKI)
schemes.
